2013 Whirligigs

2013 Whirligig-1 49 X 62

I think the black binding is just right for this colorful quilt.

OK! So I had some fabric left over. Of course I had to make another quilt out of it.

2013 Kitchen Cabinet Quilts

2013 Whimsical Spring 10 X 25
I have lots of quilts handing in my house, but I realized there was nothing hanging on the end of the kitchen cabinet. This one just fit.

2013 Summer Time 12 X 25
This is another quilt for the kitchen cabinet.

2013 Tall Tree 13 X 30

2013 Summer Still Life & Sam's Valentine

2013 Summer Still Life 80 X 82

Its hard to see in the photo, but this quilt has three dimensional flowers and triangles.

2013 Sam's Valentine 21 X 52

I think a quilted table runner is better than a card.

Remind me never again to make a quilt with the blocks on point. All that bias makes quilting difficult. If you look carefully, you can see that I added a chicken family to this one since my family had a small chicken business when I was growing up.

2013 Scrappy On Point 2 50 X 50

One of my jobs was to chop off the heads of the chickens to prepare them to sell to a local store.

2013 Potpourri

2013 Potpourri-2 48 X 60

I added a couple of Volkswagen's to this one in memory of one of our first cars. It became a challenge for a family of five to go on trips in that car.

These next two quilts are known as liberated quilts. They are just sewn together without a pattern. I had to add a couple of cats to this one just to add a little interest.
